What is Dorothy's last name in the Wizard Oz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Her last name is Gale, which suggests a storm, There is both a cyclone and a rainbow in the movie version of Oz so there is a (weather) subtheme. She, apart from the Wizard is the only really named character, on the Oz-side. The three good-guy monsters as I call them, have no personal names, a major credibility gap.

The Tin Woodman is found near the Yellow Brick Road. His joints are all rusted. He can't reach his oiling can, which is just nearby. Dorothy Gale and the Scarecrow help him to get oiled up. He wants a heart, which Dorothy and the Scarecrow suggest as something that the Wizard of Oz may be able to provide.

In the Wizard of Oz why did Dorothy leave home?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dorothy Gale was swept away with the strong winds of the cyclone, because she didn't make it down to the safety of the cellar. She had been outside with her pet dog Toto. She managed to get into Uncle Henry's and Aunt Em's old farm house before the cyclone hit. But she and Toto were upstairs and therefore carried off to the beautiful, enchanted, magical lands of Oz.

What does Dorothy say to the Scarecrow before her return home in 'The Wizard of Oz'?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The first time that Dorothy Gale is granted an audience, the great and terrible Wizard of Oz says to her, and then to each of her three friends individually, that he will grant every request in exchange for the death of the Wicked Witchof the West [in the book], or her broomstick [in the 1939 film version]. Dorothy kills the Witch. But at the second audience, the Wizard tries to get out of helping her, her pet dog Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion. The five friends find out what he looks like, and what a humbug he is. And so he ends up supposedly giving to the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion what they each already have. The only real, true solution that isn't as humbug as he is turns out to be his plan for getting Dorothy and Toto back home to Kansas. Unfortunately, Toto jumps out at the last minute, Dorothy jumps out to catch Toto, and neither is able to get back into the basket before the hot air balloon takes off with only the Wizard on board.

When does Toto from 'The Wizard of Oz' die?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Toto doesn't die in 'The Wizard of Oz' or in any later books. Dorothy Gale relocates her pet dog and both Uncle Henry and Aunt Em to the Emerald City of Oz, later on in the Royal Histories of Oz books by author and series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 6, 1919]. Dorothy becomes a Princess, and Toto even has an honorary statue made in his likeness during his lifetime.

In which city of Kansas does The Wizard of Oz take place?

Neither the movie nor the book on which it is based names Dorothy's hometown. Both only say she is from Kansas.

The Wizard says he's in Omaha (in the book), but that is the only town mentioned.

Was the witch in 'The Wizard of Oz' a male?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No. A male is called a wizard if he's a good witch, a warlock if he's wicked. There were neither in the original 1900 book edition of The Wizard of Oz. Indeed, the Wizard was a humbug magician from Omaha, Nebraska. He started out in entertainment as a ventriloquist, at which he was good. Then he moved into hot air ballooning. He wasn't quite as skilled at hot air ballooning as he had been at projecting his voice. For he ended up not being able to control the balloon on a windy day. The result was a landing in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. In Oz, he began his third entertaining career, as Wizard and Absolute Ruler from his Emerald Palace. In this case, he was skilled at intimidating and manipulating his subjects. But he actually was a fraud, and constantly feared being found out.

Is two-thirds of an ounce greater than half an ounce?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes

two thirds of an ounce (2/3 ounce as a fraction) can also be represented as 4/6 of an ounce.
half an ounce (1/2 ounce as a fraction) can also be represented as 3/6 of an ounce.

By inspection, 4/6 has more "sixths" of an ounce than 3/6. As a result, two thirds of an ounce is larger.

What did the Scarecrow need in The Wizard of Oz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Scarecrow wanted the Wizard to give him a brain. Ironically, the Wizard was a humbug, and made a show of giving the Scarecrow what the Scarecrow already had. For the Scarecrow had reacted to many situations, on the way to the Emerald Palace of the Wizard of Oz, in ways that showed that he already had a brain. In the way of a humorous example, Dorothy irritated a tree by picking an apple off the branch instead of picking it up from the ground. The Scarecrow explained that the little girl didn't like green worms in her apples. Exactly!

Is the Wizard of Oz English?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Oz books were written by L. Frank Baum, who was from Kansas. They are written in English, that being the primary language spoken by Kansans, if that's what you meant.

The Wizard in the 1939 movie is played by Frank Morgan, also an American (born in New York City).

Was it the Scarecrow or the Tin Woodman that wanted a heart in The Wizard of Oz?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Scarecrow wanted a brain, and the Tin Woodman wanted a heart. But neither one of them realized an important fact: the Wizard didn't give them anything. He really was a humbug, and made a show of giving them what they already had. For the Scarecrow already had a brain, and the Tin Woodman already had a heart. There were many instances prior to meeting the Wizard in which the presence of a brain and of a heart were proven respectively. For example, the Tin Woodman didn't want to hurt anybody or anything if he could help it. He deliberately tried not to step on ants. And the Scarecrow figured out that a deep ditch was too wide to be jumped individually, but not so wide as to keep the Cowardly Lion from leaping over, with each of the four friends on his back, one-by-one.

What did Dorothy and the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman see when they each saw the Wizard of Oz for the first time?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Each one of the five friends had dreams, requests, and wishes for which the Wizard of Oz's help was sought. Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto wanted to get back home to Kansas. The Tin Woodman wanted a heart. The Scarecrow wanted a brain. And the Cowardly Lion wanted courage. To each of her three friends, Dorothy explained that she was going to get help from the Wizard in solving her problem. She accepted their company along the way, and was willing to share her possibilities for a meeting with her and Toto's new-found friends.
